WEBVTT - Nightcap Best of the Rest - Part 1: KD claps back + Colts QB Competition 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:06.840 Many. 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.440 Joe recently claims that Celtics matchup better against the Knicks 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.320 without Tatum in the lineup exclusively because of mindset. I 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.919 believe a team is a reflection of his leader. Jason 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.079 Tatum is the leader of Boston. They are incredibly talented team, 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.320 but they're not tough teams. This is what Kevin Durant 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.079 had to say. He responded on Twitter. Excuse me on 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:31.760 X damn hot take artists have ruined the sport football guys, 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.240 no disrespect, but y'all boys need to stay in y'all 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:35.959 laying I don't know what it's like. 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:36.880 To be between them lines. 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.640 Give the man a break, give it, he said, between 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.080 these lines, man, give it a break. Dudes who quit 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:47.159 football early to pursue media talking mental toughness. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:53.480 Cut it out, Katie taking shots. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:01:00.480 But love it, love it? But yeah, k Katie, don't respond. 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.120 I ain't got a problem. I got a problem with it. 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:03.320 Problem like it. 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.960 I wish more players were like that. I wish more 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.040 elite superstar players would like that and voice their opinion. 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.840 That's why that's why I like Twitter. I like X 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.200 because it gives everybody a voice. Now, it cuts it 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.720 cuts the middleman out players being able to have an opportunity. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.720 Nothing lost in it lost, nothing lost in translation. Okay, 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:24.960 I got something for y'all. 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:29.440 Okay, okay, but you're talking about I love people having voices, 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.520 but this is my thing though. You're a champion, right, yeah, 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.679 so your mindset is gonna be totally different than somebody 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:36.880 who wasn't the champions. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.319 And not correct. So so that's that's what I am. 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.039 You got people talking about the game and and this 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.160 and that, but how can you how can somebody really 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.440 define the game if you got if you never want anything, 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.160 and tell somebody from you telling you talking from a 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.960 losing perspective. You know you never wont you was an 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.440 individual you I mean, I'm not saying you. It's a 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.600 lot of guys that was great players that were great, 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.000 but that was great one you don't talk about. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.800 It's all about me? Me, me, me, what about you? 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.880 Know what I'm saying. It's like, so you got a problem. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.400 You was great individual, but you wasn't a great team player. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.360 You ain't excel your team to be to be a winner. 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.080 You didn't win. Your team was losing. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.800 So so if I'm hearing you correctly, you can correct 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.680 me if I'm wrong. You said, unless you've been a champion, 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.360 how do you tell me what it takes to become 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:24.880 a champion? 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:32.639 Right, how are you gonna have a champion monster if. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.840 You've never been I have another question for people, okay, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:40.040 people that in the media space, right, yes, talking to 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.840 Sean obviously, with with that, with that, with what he 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.880 just said, how do you feel about people that talk 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.280 about the game of basketball, the game of football, the 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.239 game of hockey, and or or or pundits or analysts 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.920 on it or or give their opinion or views on it, 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.120 but have never played the game? Can you take what 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.200 they can you take what they say serious if they've 0:02:59.200 --> 0:02:59.720 never done it? 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:02.720 So, so this is my thing. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.080 I think they they the media is great at creating 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.560 these narratives and hold on, they can listen. 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.600 Everybody can have their opinion about the game. I'm not, 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.840 I'm not. This is open. It's an open platform. 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.080 Everybody can discuss it on every label, from TV to 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.000 social media to whatever you want to do, podcasts, whatever. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.400 But my thing is this, though, when you when you 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.520 start dissecting and you really want to know the logists 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.160 of what they really truly taste, go talk to somebody 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.880 who's done it before. I'm not gonna come in your 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.080 space and try to tell you how your job and 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.440 tell you how your job if I've never done it, 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:33.480 I've never been a reporter. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.680 I'm not gonna sit here and slide and say LIKENK. 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.480 But with that being said, I'm not gonna sit here 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.880 and discredit people either, though there are some people that 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.720 have part But what but the narratives that the media create. 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.360 It becomes a part of our thought. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.640 Process, it becoming green in us, these stories that everybody this. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.240 This is the one thing I don't think people truly 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.320 understand if it's almost like the media said, they believe 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:58.560 they bullshit. Yeah, man, Now it becomes a thought process. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.760 Whether you agree with it or don't, it because a 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.400 part of your thought process, and that's the first thing 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.280 to come to your mind when you say something. And 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.760 that's the one thing that pisces me off more than anything. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.240 So like, at the same time, I'm okay with people 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.520 having an opinion, but let me let me let me 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.480 give you something else to think about it, think about 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.000 from a different perspective, different side of someone who actually 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:16.200 did it. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.279 I walked this light, I walked this path. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.400 I'm gonna show you what from my experience and what 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.039 I've been through, and I'm gonna I'm gonna. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.200 Pay this this This is the direction for you, and 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.440 it's the deal for you. 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.440 So when you sit here and you go through all 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.400 these narratives, man, I just I just it just it 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:32.640 just it hurts. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.200 Me sometime and pisces me off. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.280 I just sometimes I have to recuse myself from a 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.080 lot of conversations because it's not it's falling on deaf 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.640 ears because everybody is fucking stuck on stupid at times. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.760 You know, common sense ain't coming anymore, you know what 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.159 I'm saying. So you know it's so many levels to 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:47.560 this ship. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.680 You know what I'm saying it is I want to 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.680 well think I want to hand a baton. I want 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.120 you to hand the baton off to me because I 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.919 agree with a lot of what you're saying. Guys that 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.040 have covered this game, and I go in particular, I say, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.839 like a Tony korn High or Michael Wilbond, guys that 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.360 are covered the game, I think they understand the game, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.600 but their intricacies unless you've been in that huddle, unless 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.599 you've been in that locker room in those intense moments, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.160 you couldn't possibly know. Now, See, they might go by 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.360 what somebody told them. I'm going by what I know. See, 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.200 I was in the huddle on fourth down. I was 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.599 in the huddle on third and six. I was in 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.960 the locker room when we had lost five straight against Baltimore. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.120 So for you to say I think this is what, No, 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.560 I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling you 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:31.560 what I know because I was there. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.400 Yeah. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.559 And so while they can write it and they've covered 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.479 the game and they do a great job, and I'm 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.320 like you, I don't discredit anybody that I've never said, Well, 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:40.760 you didn't play the game. You don't know what you're 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.480 talking about. I'm saying from a standpoint of being in 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.760 the locker room, being on the field, being on the court, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.279 there are certain things that I can speak to that 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.400 even in your thirty forty fifty years of covering a game, 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.480 can't give the fans what I can, having played the 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.600 game far less than you've ever covered the game. 0:05:58.760 --> 0:05:59.960 Because I've been in the huddle. 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.600 I've heard that call and I looked in guy's eyes, 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.359 and I know who you know, guys that put it 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.719 what they put in. And I know guys that that 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.200 bull dye come there. I see them all the time. 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.920 You get to spend open locker room, what thirty minutes 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.520 five days a week. You get to spend thirty minutes 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:24.080 on maybe Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. I don't think you get 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.720 to come maybe a little bit on Friday. That's all 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.240 you get. I get to see that guy from nine 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.320 to five, five days a week, then on the road 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.760 on Saturday and Sunday in the locker room. You coming 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.160 in after the game, so you don't get to talk 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.200 to him before the game, so you don't know what 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.440 he's thinking, or you haven't had a conversation with him before. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.919 And so that's why I don't discredit guys that, because 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.279 there are some guys that do an excellent job and 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.400 they've talked to some of the greats. When you see 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.960 they're talking to them, Yes, I'm right there with them. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.520 I'm right there in the locker room, I'm sitting right 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:58.760 next to him, I'm right there. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.359 In the huddle. And so I I can I just think. 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.280 Guys that have played the game now, everybody that played 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.000 the game Matrix can't get on TV and talk about 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.720 the game. Oh, noxin it in a way, explain it 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.720 in a way that maybe somebody in the media can 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.520 talk about it. But that doesn't mean just because you 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.720 can articulate your thoughts more or better, you know that 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.600 you know the game better or understand the game better. Yeah, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.520 do that Hopefully that makes sense to the chat. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:28.840 No, it does? It does? 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.280 You know, like Mike, my guy you know from the 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.440 crib here, so like Mike is great. Mike has been 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.840 on TV for Yes, Mike's been doing it for fifty years. Yeah, 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.800 Mike has been on there. Man, I love Mike, you know. 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.720 And uh, but you said something that that's so dawned. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.280 I mean, like you you you're experiencing somebody basically being 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.720 around somebody twenty four to seven and the tress with people, 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:49.960 it's totally a different feeling. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:50.360 You know. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.760 I used to say this when it was everybody was 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.440 like how the team feeling. I'm like, man, you have 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:55.440 to be in this, you have to be in the 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.320 locker room, the seat. I can't I can't express what 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.080 we're going through right now. 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.360 Well, well, I can't even say that words. 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.080 It's kind of it's kind of you gotta be able 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:03.600 to feel it. You gotta see it. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.720 You gotta be sitting next to me, and you gotta. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.760 Be feeling that heat coming from my from my teammate 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.400 next to me, you know, on both sides. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.960 And we just like we ain't got I ain't say 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:12.560 nothing to him. 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.680 I'm looking at it. My my, my guy. We about 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.240 to go to war out here. And it's like it's 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.840 a whole different mindset, you know. And I think it's 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.320 so many different levels to this cause I think it 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.320 was it's so many great players that played this game 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:23.440 in the NBA. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:24.840 It's a great returning there. 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.000 I man and uh, and I take my health to 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:28.480 the ol g's who paid the way from me, man, 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.720 I really do.

Now, Troy, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.880 if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but that's how I feel. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.480 I don't think I can do my job do your 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.680 job better than you. I just feel I can do 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.400 my job better than you can do yours. You deduced 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.360 from that whatever you want, but I'm not going to 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.880 discredit you from your job job that may whatever the 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.040 case may be. A cashier, ain't nobody could be no 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:41.679 cash Y'll. 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.280 Be going to give them people. They give me a dollar, 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:44.120 I give them ten back. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.240 They coming, Hey, Hey, all them numbers than Hey, I 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.600 ain't got time for that. I get frustrated, but I 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.040 understand that people have a job to do, and. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.640 I think it's it's easy to save. 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.360 Because if they won without Jason Tatum, They're not winning 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.200 a championship without Jason Tatum. You think that, what do 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.640 you think the odds on Joe they win a championship, 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.959 they're gonna win the NBA Championship without JT. I mean, 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.120 so if that's not the case, they're not better without it, 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.240 because the odds are they are a better team. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.000 They do you think they would have won the championship 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:19.839 last year without j t? 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.520 Absolutely not absolutely, matter of fact, since you pose that 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.040 question too, based on you know, and Kevin Durant going 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.920 going back and forth. This was just one game on 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.520 what happens if they come back in this series and 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.560 they get it done without Jason Tatum. What happens if 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.599 they get to the Eastern Commerce obviously get to the 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.559 Eastern Confrace finals without Jason Tatum? What happened if they 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:49.440 do get a chip without Jason Tatum? Still not possibly 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.800 not even with the way Jaylen Brown played no. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:55.680 In pritching. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:11:01.640 Okay, okay, listen, I said that same thing ochol I saw. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.559 I was talking to my guys last night about that. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.240 I was like, I just said, what if hypothetical? You know, 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.360 it ain't many teams in the NBA history ever came 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.480 down came back from a three to one deficit. 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:15.679 But just hypotheticals. Hypotheticals. Yeah, so that's a hypothetical. It's 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.439 just what he's going with a hypothetical. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.080 Say, for instance, they they win tomorrow Boston, won't they 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.480 able to get able to get back home because at 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.719 the end of the day, you know, the rope the 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.320 uh you know, I mean, I luck the Knicks, I do. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:33.360 Jaylen Brush is a savage out there. Yeah, feeling that closer. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.839 But but with that being said, though, the supporting cast 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.440 only had one game in the series so far that 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.320 they all up and scored over twenty points one game. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.000 So like, you know, you don't know what the supporting 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.720 cast is gonna do you know, Jaylen, Bronce is they 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.400 had a snake over there, And you know a lot 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.040 of these teams are one injury away from not doing anything, 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:52.600 am I right? 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:53.760 Okay? 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:59.840 So but Boston is one team that has listen, they 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.120 they have they have enough to still do it and. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.559 Let me ask your question. That's everybody show up though. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.760 So in other words, if. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.680 I takes if I takeos reasoning and I listen to 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.920 you with if so, if the Golden State Warriors had 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.000 won that series, that means they're better without Steph Curry. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.160 M hm, ship that's different. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:32.559 I did removed, was removed. The best player off. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:37.800 The teams in Golden State is not even close to 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.000 what they have in Boston. 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.480 What about Jimmy MoMA play out Jimmy. You trought me 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.920 play out Jimmy. He's taking too. He's taking the team 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.880 two teams to the NBA Finals and he hadn't had 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.280 I'm just saying, I'm just I'm just throwing it out 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.600 that we just haven't healthy conversation now since we're doing 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:54.280 what IFFs. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.560 Yeah, but no, but they're done now, so they're done. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.800 But but look at the roster the so go go 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.679 go Boston starting go roster right now, top seven players, 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.800 they're so five, well it's top five now because take 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:08.480 them is out now. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.440 So there their their current roster right now. 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.600 Look at their lineup though, tell me what you think 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:14.880 about their line compared to airy Bots. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.840 Find up if they're doing what they're supposed to do 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:18.439 without Jason Tatum. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.800 Their their their best six players aren't better than the 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.160 knicks best six players, you don't think so they'll know. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:30.520 With Brunson, Cat Bridges, Heart, who's the other guy? 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.080 Oh g I love New York Nick, I love then 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.800 you got and you got Mitchell, Robinson and McBride.

I mean, k P ain't showed 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:56.800 up yet in this playoffs yet. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.720 He ain't gonna show up, so start looking for it. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:01.800 He's seven three and invisible. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:06.000 So see, I'm just a firm believer out of it. 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.280 I just so these guys have all you got all? 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:08.839 You got two? 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.200 You got two guys, Well, you got three All Star 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.320 pedigree guys on Boston Celtics. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.160 Skipt that been either a former All Star or not. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.199 You know what I'm saying. You're only only current All 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.560 Star on the team is Jaylen Bronson right now. But 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:21.840 but Derek White could have easily been. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.360 What about what about Cat?

Yeah, 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.640 we do that a lot though, we oh yo, we 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:14.280 do that a lot. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.040 We see a guy, uh and football go down where 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.240 they are better team without him? 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.480 No they're not. No, hell they not. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.440 Somebody they want a game one time where they want 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:26.360 a game without Chase? 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:30.600 What that mean? They're better team? What you want to 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:31.360 you're talking about? 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.800 Hello, Jason Tatum? Is about to make his fourth consecutive 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.480 All NBA team. Do you mean to tell me a 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.080 team is better without an All our first team All 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:41.120 NBA selections? 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.600 Makes you question it though, UNC and Sean. You look 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.320 at the way they play without him in that one game, 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:53.000 it makes it raises the question and the possibility of 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.760 the MAXI being better without them because of the way. 0:15:55.640 --> 0:16:01.280 They What what happens, oh yo, what happens when the 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.040 original teacher is not where you get a substitute. Well, 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.600 it's not the same, So now you do things differently. 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.920 I believe the Knicks let the Knicks let their guard down. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.320 The Knigs like, well, they ain't got j T. The 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.120 ain't gonna be ready to play, and they underestimated them. 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:15.880 I bet they don't make that same mistake. I bet 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.800 they don't make that mistake in the in the MSG. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:27.960 Well we're gonna see well, Hope not. You know what 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.880 I'm saying. But you know, I listen, man, when you 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.080 when you out here, man, we can't One of the 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:35.800 things I learned a long time ago. You know this. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.360 The one thing you can control is what your effort. 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.640 You can't control the ball going to Hope not. 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.320 So you know Listen. You can't control you can't control 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:45.160 it going in the hoop. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.920 So like a man, listen man, people feeling that pressure 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.480 and listen that I know Garden's gonna be rocking them all. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.280 You know what I'm saying. Yeah, Okay, I kind of 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:55.960 which I was in that. I ain't never been to 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.360 a playoff game in uh in New York. I would 0:16:58.400 --> 0:16:58.960 love to be there. 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:04.640 But hey, hold on, you did ah did acho did 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.600 not see the three games they lost with Jason Tatum? 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.080 So you better without him? But you lost three games 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.359 with him. I mean he had forty two, they was 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.760 up twenty game. We're not even listen, they're not within it. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.000 They're not what they are without Jason Tatum. He's one 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.480 of the best players in the NBA. Oh by far easily. 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.320 That's like it's hard you could let's just say he's 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.240 a top ten player. How's the team better without a 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.960 top ten player? Okay, you go win a game? 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:32.240 See? 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.920 And I think the thing is sometimes what happened a 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.199 Matrix and Ojoe is that a team will win a 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.040 game or two without their best player, and people are 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.360 starting to believe, well, hey, we can get rid of him. 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.520 If we can get something back. No, you can't. Don't 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:49.560 do that? Well no, no, we so long? Okay, now. 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.600 No, I'm not gonnagree with that on I'm gonna tell 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.399 you something now. So like put this way, if Jaylen 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.240 so Jylen Brown was out and Jayson Tatman was playing 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.880 right now, they did the same thing, would you would 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.120 you still saying the same thing? 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.400 No, because I think they need both of them. Because 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.800 when they when Kevin Durant became available, they offered Jalen 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.879 Brown and Derrick white Is some draft picks for Kevin Durant. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:18.040
